A sturdy slab serif with heavy, nearly monoline strokes and flat, square-ended terminals. Serifs are bold and largely unbracketed, giving the forms a blocky, engineered feel, while counters stay open enough to keep letters clear at display sizes. Uppercase shapes are broad and steady, with simple geometry and firm horizontals; lowercase follows the same squared rhythm, with robust stems and compact joins. Numerals match the overall weight and construction, reading as strong, sign-friendly figures with consistent stroke endings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a bold, dependable voice is needed. The heavy slabs and squared terminals make it effective for signage and packaging that benefits from a strong, retro-industrial character, while the even stroke weight helps maintain legibility in short passages and large-scale text.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, leaning toward vintage industrial and collegiate signage rather than delicate editorial refinement. Its dense, squared construction projects durability and directness, with a slightly nostalgic, print-poster presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice optimized for impact and clarity, combining blunt, square terminals with broad proportions for a dependable display presence.
The texture is dark and even, with strong horizontal emphasis from thick slabs and flat terminals. Rounded letters keep their curves but are restrained by the squared finishing, producing a consistent, punchy rhythm across both the alphabet grid and the paragraph sample.
